I think you mean composite bows. Compound bows are a modern invention.

Yes correct. Yet again I misquote history. :) Composite.
Leganoth:
haha ill be on the safe side and start using my dumbells again, pullups wont be enough :D
Sir William:
Actually, continual practice with your bow will be your best bet- you'll work the muscles exactly as you need them to...who knows, in time you may step up the weight. Or not.
Leganoth:
i casually lift 15 pound dumbells
Sir William:
Leganoth, you'll need to do A LOT of reps to build up strength with weights that light...you'd be better off just doing continual shooting with the bow you have. Do you have time and opportunity to shoot? If you get it in at least every other day your muscles are going to form up just due to the routine if nothing else.
